I am just more affectionate.

 and went in under the shed and looked at each of the cars
 and went in under the shed and looked at each of the cars. We passed a long column of loaded mules.Look at the bump.Priest not happy. To save you trouble.Truly I tell you something about your good women. Well take you back with us.She was unclasping something from her neck. They take your home. I forget exactly what they were. You only pretend to be American. then we started. I will give you the addresses of places in Naples. Ill take it very easily.All right.

No. Put it on the floor. I said.A whatAn ignorant wop. Its twice as big as it was this morning.It sounds very funny nowCatherine.Oh. tenente (first finger). Signor Tenente.Dont get angry. and tenentecolonello (the little finger).Its not been away. Im Scotch.I know how you talk. an ambulance was waiting by the side door and inside the door.

 Stop it. They were seventysevens and came with a whishing rush of air.She looked at me. Besides. Goodnight.A big shell came in and burst outside in the brickyard.Ill walk down with you. falling and the soldiers marching and afterward the road bare and white except for the leaves. Then he was quiet. The cars would be all right with their good metaltometal brakes and anyway.Not reallyNever. We stood outside the door on the patch and he said.Did you ever read the Black Pig asked the lieutenant. without embarrassment. There were many marble busts on painted wooden pillars along the walls of the room they used for an office.

 felt him climb up into the front seat. I tried to make out whether they were members of the family or what; but they were all uniformly classical. The cars would be all right with their good metaltometal brakes and anyway.I have brought him in.Better not drink too much brandy then.I went everywhere. I think the heat knocked me over yesterday. Chew those. the King passing in his motor car.Goodnight. I said. They all ask for you. Well all eat. In Pittsburgh.I love you so and its been awful.

Wait a minute.We drove fast when we were over the bridge and soon we saw the dust of the other cars ahead down the road. We drank rum and it was very friendly. It had been impossible to advance on the far side the year before because there was only one road leading down from the pass to the pontoon bridge and it was under machinegun and shell fire for nearly a mile. Gordini stood up and went outside with me. I said.They tell me youve lost two drivers. but the nights were cool and there was not the feeling of a storm coming. the meal was finished.They cant hang every one. I said.Oh. and put on a dressing. I denied this. He brought them over to me.

 blunt-nosed ambulances. the old bridge where the railway crossed to the other side and across. gray leather boxes heavy with the packs of clips of thin. I will send the liaison officer. Perhaps it start again.They come after you.I left them working. There were not enough stretchers.I was going to cut it all off when he died.Dont bring Caruso. wont you She looked up at me. We went on and passed the regiment about a mile ahead. thats different. Its beautiful language. With your priest and your English girl.

 Manera said. When people realize how bad it is they cannot do anything to stop it because they go crazy. There was much traffic at night and many mules on the roads with boxes of ammunition on each side of their pack-saddles and gray motor trucks that carried men. We drank the second grappa.The Pope wants the Austrians to win the war. We drove slowly in this matting covered tunnel and came out onto a bare cleared space where the railway station had been. They take nearly a thousand prisoners.Were almost up. At the gate of the driveway that led up to the British villa. because they found the three per cent bonds on his person. You will please come and make me a good impression on her. undid my tunic and tried to rip the tail of my shirt.But now we will shut up. said the lieutenant. and found we still lived in the same house and that it all looked the same as when I had left it.

 I had on wool stockings but Passini wore puttees. Today I see priest with girls. You are my great and good friend and financial protector. Now they have a guard outside his house with a bayonet and nobody can come to see his mother and father and sisters and his father loses his civil rights and cannot even vote. There were three doctors that I knew. Hes coming to see you. father. They were moderately clean.I see. I hurried up the driveway and inside the reception hall I asked for Miss Barkley. While I rubbed myself with a towel I looked around the room and out the window and at Rinaldi lying with his eyes closed on the bed. Where did you meet her In the Cova Where did you go How did you feel Tell me everything at once. They lifted me and the blanket flap went across my face as we went out. there was the smell of marble floors and hospital.There arent enough troops here for a real attack.

 was lined with them. They come and make you be a soldier again. I said in English. When I came back to the front we still lived in that town. In Pittsburgh.One of those shot by the carabinieri is from my town. We saw their white uniforms through the trees and walked toward them. It was not a pleasant trip to the dressing room and I did not know until later that beds could be made with men in them.Not true asked the captain.Do you always know what people thinkNot always. In the jolt of my head I heard somebody crying. Rinaldi took the note. he said when he saw me.War is not won by victory.Oh.

 like bridge.Of course they dont. No one to lend me money. Then I will take him with my first load. Where it had run down under my shirt it was warm and sticky. Suddenly to care very much and to sleep to wake with it sometimes morning and all that had been there gone and everything sharp and hard and clear and sometimes a dispute about the cost. I heard the machine guns and rifles firing across the river and all along the river. Passini was quiet now.Rinaldi poured himself another glass of the cognac. I went back to the drivers. You dont pronounce it very much alike. Gordini got up and ran for the dugout. said Passini.Oughf. I went to the window and looked out.

 Then we saw a horse ambulance stopped by the road. she said. . Its been in there too long.Not reallyNever. and I spoke Italian. The forest had been green in the summer when we had come into the town but now there were the stumps and the broken trunks and the ground torn up. she said. I said. Are they going to have an offensiveYes. Passini said. Would you like us to take the carsThats what I wanted to ask you. He can be here until you are ready to take him. Besides.I went out the door and suddenly I felt lonely and empty.

 But it was checked and in the end only seven thousand died of it in the army. Passini said. They say if you can prove you did any heroic act you can get the silver. He bit his arm and moaned. Well take you back with us. I said.I guess youve got a fracture all right.All right. Mr. said the lieutenant. said Passini. the car looking disgraced and empty with the engine open and parts spread on the work bench. Rinaldi carried a holster stuffed with toilet paper. The major said there was an Italian story something like that about the duchess who could not sleep at night. It was cold in the car in the night as the road climbed.

 she said.He ought to go to Capri. The priest shook his head. That is very clear.When I got back to the villa it was five oclock and I went out where we washed the cars. lootenant.Here. I asked him if there was a big dugout where the drivers could stay and he sent a soldier to show me. and other trucks with loads covered with canvas that moved slower in the traffic. who was on duty. baby. Ill paint all this and Does that sting Good. As I looked out at the garden I heard a motor truck starting on the road.And youll be backTo morrow.He ought to go to Capri.

 passing on the road. I saluted and went out. I went to the window and looked out. There are a few real wounded. I always thought he was French.And youre all right I asked outside. tenente (first finger). I said I thought they had them. But those grenadiers; all over six feet. I wondered who had done them and how much he got.I stopped to ask if you were better. Gordini stood behind me. Kiss me goodby. People lived on in it and there were hospitals and cafe and artillery up side streets and two bawdy houses. Well.

 a noble man and with whose injustice.You must go on leave at once.Yes.Also they make money out of it.Maybe girls dont want to go to the front any more. but with the difference between us. darling. There. get me out of here.They talked too much at the mess and I drank wine because tonight we were not all brothers unless I drank a little and talked with the priest about Archbishop Ireland who was. Then the stretcher bearers took the man off the table. Any frescoes were good when they started to peel and flake off. The road went up the valley a long way and then we turned off and commenced to climb into the hills again. I said. one of the captains said.

 I would have married him or anything.Just as you like.As the ambulance climbed along the road. They cant go on doing things like the Somme and not crack.Yes. The lieutenant. when I learned it. We work very hard but no one trusts us.Well crack.She was unclasping something from her neck. Or shot through the shoulder. He talks French. Stupid. They will love you like a son.I have to get washed and report.

 I said. I unwound the puttee and while I was doing it I saw there was no need to try and make a tourniquet because he was dead already. Some one probably got it at one of the dressing stations. If they did. I could look down through the woods and see. His legs are very painful. Then I forgot about him. said Bassi. What is defeat You go home. he pointed to the thumb.Of course some of the bonds were not accounted for but the priest had all of the three per cent bonds and several local obligations. Sometimes I think you and he are a little that way. Shall attack!The priest nodded. but instead we had Ii Generale Cadorna. I am just more affectionate.
